In Parshas Beshalach, the Jewish people reach Marah and find bitter water — only days after experiencing redemption. The reaction feels understandable, but the Torah’s response points to a deeper truth.
Rabbi Efrem Goldberg explains why the bitterness at Marah wasn’t about the water at all. When a person is disconnected, even clarity can feel bitter. When a person is connected, even challenge can be sweetened.
